Gruffalo

I'm sorry that some may have found mention of fanny weirder triggering, I resolve to check my privilege in future BlushWink

Catmint · 02/05/2018 20:35

Sincerely hoping that felting and weaving aren't transphobic......

GruffaloPants · 02/05/2018 20:36

As long as we are clear, terry. It's easy to let exclusionary language slip in. Only the other day I had to correct my elderly mother for talking about "womens' troubles."

ScarletBegonias · 02/05/2018 20:37

Not sure how to link to it on this device but there's a newish comment from MNHQ on Site Stuff setting out their approach, which I didn't find terribly encouraging.

MNHQ response to the concept of brigading.

I use this when my weird, greying fanny plays up. Feast your eyes, Shon! You'll never know!

I read that as multi-gym active gel. For when your tired fanny gets in the way of a workout.

My very elderly neighbour reached peak trans after reading about Matthew Wright. She asked me to explain. I tried.

"He's got a todger?" He can't be a woman if he's got a todger."

ReluctantCamper · 02/05/2018 20:46

a todger

Just jealous he will never be a mum ;)

Ekphrasis · 02/05/2018 20:51

Ahhhhh multi gym is amazing!

If anyone fancies crocheting this, a reminder of the days of the matriarchy...

So, just to sum up, referring to someone who used to refer to himself as a man, as «he» is unacceptable and makes one a terrible person, but wishing death on an unborn baby is totes fine and dandy?

IJustHadToNameChange · 02/05/2018 20:53

The Willendorf Venus looks knitted.

Knitting really is transphobic!

Quick! Bring me your finest Sirdar!

Ekphrasis · 02/05/2018 20:54

It's crochet ffs. You just mis-fibre manipulationed her.

terryleather · 02/05/2018 21:01

Quite right Gruffalo, I hope you pointed out to your elderly mother that she needs to educate herself and that micro aggressions such as the use of women's troubles will not be tolerated...

MrsWooster · 02/05/2018 21:02

My tired fanny ALWAYS gets in the way of a workout. That's my excuse, anyway. Too true about the fanny weird after womenopause. My fanny and I have got along splendidly for 50 years and how she's like a stranger to me. Maybe I'll identify as a bloke for a bit and the neglect will shock her back into line...

Amalfimamma · 02/05/2018 21:03

Shon is always guaranteed to give us a good laugh.

Is shon not a high flying career professional? How on earth does shon find the time to trawl mumsnet? Or has shon become one of the professionally offended?

Anlaf · 02/05/2018 21:03

Can I just say AssignedPuuurfectAtBirth that I think your instruction to copy and paste

Cnt + C
Cnt + V

Is much superior to the more usual, ctrl + C, ctrl +V and I shall recite cunt vee, cunt cee whenever I copy and paste from now on which is a fucking lot

Would someone like to knit me a vagina for the cat to sleep in? I imagine it'll have to be several times life-size but should make an attractive and practical addition to the home.

BesmirchingMotherhood · 02/05/2018 21:04

Someone crocheted me!

What that link tells us is that MNHQ need professional advice and an actual strategy for handling this rather than the current ad-hoc approach.

IJustHadToNameChange · 02/05/2018 21:13

It'scrochetffs. You just mis-fibre manipulationed her.

Oh no! I've misfibre manipulation identified the Willendorf Venus!

She's crocheted! Not knitted!

I shall bow out of this conversation. I am not worthy. Need to go to bed soon
